best horror movies

Creeping Flesh.

To Quote The Canadian (SCtvVersion of Count Gregore) I'd have to say,Yah, shure, yu betcha.
yet none of the films mentioned hold a candle, in terms of simple "horror" compared to
the Coen Bros Classic: Fargo. At least not in This Universe. =)

Don't remember if I saw them mentioned further up the list or not but Evil Dead and Army of Darkness are fun horror flicks.

Check out The Creeping Flesh. Plenty of ribs in that movie.

Eraserhead. (followed by Taxi Driver).
Sorry . . . Too cerebral. =)
(and then the original The Haunting followed by The Woman in Black.)
(then, Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard starring John Travolta.)

[Just the facts]

I wasn't real happy watching the bugs in Starship Troopers.

Radical, I wouldn't consider Taxi Driver as "horror."
But, has anyone here ever seen Thursday? Egads. Some, might not consider that horror, either. But I've never seen anything that left me feeling so nihilistic about everything for a few days.

As a kid, Pet Cemetery scared the crap out of me. I told my dad I wanted to go see it because I liked the thought of bringing dead pets back to life. It wasn't the pet or Gage that scared me, it was the mom's sister, with her spine all exposed, reaching up off of her bed and saying "Raaaacheeeellle, RaCHEEEEllllll.....". I thought that was grody.

As for in general, I'd still go with Poltergeist or The Exorcist. A lot of films today are crap.

Actually, forgot about this one: Rawhead Rex

This looks like a very interesting new candidate.

"You're Next" is the best "meta" and "slasher" genre I've seen in a couple years. It's hard to navigate the field these days. Supernatural does t really get me going. Except for the original sinister and conjuring from 2013. I never bother with horror sequels. My wife really wants to see the latest bel toro horror flick "Red Peak." For classics you can never beat "The Shining" "the thing" "Alien" "Rosemary's" baby" "jaws" or even classlcs like "Let the right one in."
